Pandora Papers (full film) | FRONTLINE

More fake news. There is no way the world's wealthy and world leaders use trusts in South Dakota to hide their wealth. The U.S. would never allow it to happen...

The “Pandora Papers,” a massive leak of financial documents, reveal hidden assets and deals of the world’s wealthy and powerful.
 
With the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). ICIJ, FRONTLINE and reporters around the world examine the global entanglement of political power and secretive offshore finance, and how U.S. trusts are sheltering millions in controversial assets.
 
The “Pandora Papers” documentary is one component of a worldwide investigation with ICIJ that draws on a trove of nearly 12 million confidential financial files from firms that set up shell companies and offshore accounts for clients seeking to keep their wealth in the shadows.
 
For close to two years, ICIJ has led an investigation into these leaked documents. More than 600 journalists from 150 media organizations have participated, including FRONTLINE.
 
The investigation explores the hidden assets and secret deals of more than 130 billionaires, 35 country leaders and some 300 other politicians and public officials.

"The U.S. would never allow it to happen..."

 

And who's going to stop them?

 

You need Judges, Prosecutors, whistleblowers, enforcement to seize them. If me a humble laymen can understand the civic structure of justice, then the much more well informed elite can see it.

 

Blackmail the people that will physically enforce the bottom line, then there is nothing stopping you.

 

The state is not some magical incorruptible apparatus that knows and punishes every guilty soul in existance without error.

 

They are human. Just like everyone else.

 

Let's say you are in a position to bring one of these people to justice. You have the credentials, the means and the proof.

 

All it takes is for one of their killers to end up in your house standing over your bed. They tell how about how your plan is going to change. They'll contrast a great reward for you if you cooperate, or horrid consequences if you don't. Maybe show you some photos of an unfortunate soul like you who refused to cooperate, and proof of an army credible people under their employ that will disqualify your proof to the masses just in case you have integrity and will do the right thing.

 

Then you are neautered.

 

The flies get caught in the web, and the wasps go free.

 

Justice only comes when enough the masses see what's going on, and display to enough of those in power that have the means to do the right thing.

 

It goes one of two ways.

 

Their protectors (Police or military) turn on them and process them, or enough of the mob drags them out in the streets and puts them to the sword themselves.
